The idea of taking what's useful and discarding the rest is something I say to myself almost on a daily basis.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.
Honestly, the thing that I have found to be most useful over a long career, or maintaining a long career, is taking back the power at some point and self-producing.
I've learned to keep a lot of stuff to myself.
There's ways to amuse yourself while doing things and thats how I look at efficency.
I intentionally abandoned the hard stuff early on because not only do I think it's useless, I think it's a distraction.
Reducing and reusing take nothing more than a rethink on the way we shop, and using our imagination with the things that we might once have considered junk.
I've always found it necessity to strip away everything but the most fundamental ways to work - the rest is style.
Deciding which ideas to save and which ideas to discard is one of society's most important tasks.
I try to keep the more uninteresting stuff to a minimum, unless I'm really broke.
I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.
